Chapter 348: Slave Market
After thinking about it for almost half a night, Chaolu finally fell asleep deeply, this was the first night in the capital, but he slept very peacefully, and he didn't even dream, and he slept until dawn, and was not woken up until the rooster crowed.
After waking up sleepy-eyed, after washing up, he picked out a suitable dress, a plain narrow-sleeved skirt, which made him look more energetic, and he was more neat in doing things, looked at it, and found a cloak to bring for himself, Chaolu looked at his dress with satisfaction, and went downstairs.
Sure enough, Junzi and Panfeng were already waiting downstairs, and when they saw Chaolu coming down, Shunzi hurriedly beckoned Chaolu to eat something, and Chaolu took the food and instructed Shunzi: "You go to a few masters today to change the decoration of the attic here, and follow the picture I gave you." ”
As he spoke, he handed Junko a piece of paper and a bag of silver, which was about two hundred taels, and when the time came, it would be enough, so it would be okay to give it yourself. Junko didn't think much about it, took the paper and silver from Chaolu, and nodded and went out, just enough to go out and get familiar with the environment, after all, they will have to live here for a long time in the future.
After sending Shunzi away, after eating what was in his hand, Chaolu looked at Pan Feng and said, "Let's talk about it, where is the place where you buy and sell maid slaves here?" "Although the previous life also lived in the capital for decades, there is no need for Chaolu to worry about such a thing as buying and selling maids.
Fengbian only thought that Chaolu wanted to find two personal maids, so he said without thinking: "This is just the right time, it is the morning, their slave traders have come out to do business, it is not far, the distance between two streets, if you want to go, I will take you over to see." "Also, a girl in Chaolu, no matter how powerful she is, it's inconvenient to not have a maid by her side.
Chao Lu nodded, stretched his waist, and followed the two of them slowly towards the slave market. There are a lot of people in the early morning, and there is an endless stream of people who come out to set up stalls, those who sell vegetables and flowers, and those who walk the streets and alleys with burdens.
There are also a lot of carriages and sedan chairs, and the best thing for the ladies and ladies in the capital is to spend money, and that year they spent money like flowing water, and Chaolu even thought that when the situation in the attic was stable, he could open another clothes shop, or gouache shop, because the women in the capital, their money is the best money.
In this way, the two of them finally arrived at the slave market slowly, and before they entered, they heard the voices of people inside, and there were all kinds of shouts, either praising their slaves for being in good health, or praising their slaves for being beautiful.
After Chaolu entered, he didn't stay anywhere, but watched slowly, the corners of Fengbian's mouth moved, and he couldn't help but remind in a loud voice, "If you want to find a few maids with clean backgrounds and good appearances, we can go to the back to have a look." "Because most of the last ones are poor families who can't support them, so they sell them to other people's children.
Chaolu nodded when he heard this, but did not immediately go to the rear, but went to the place where the most people were most busy, and from the beginning of his entry, Chaolu noticed the noisiest place, where the sound of whipping was heard from time to time.
Banfeng didn't stop anything, but hurriedly followed. After going over, I found that the boss there was whipping a slave lying in ragged clothes, and Chaolu saw the slave brand on his body at a glance, but the most attractive thing about Chaolu was his eyes.
Half blocked by long hair, but no matter how the slave trader whipped him, there was a resolute and unyielding gaze in his eyes, and even for a moment, Chaolu saw the shadow of himself from him, wanting to try to take revenge. It's just that he kept his head down, and he couldn't see his face clearly.
Someone next to him couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but advise the slave traders: "Why are you so ruthless, if you break it, you won't be able to sell it." "The point is that I pity this slave very much, even if it is a slave, you can't fight like this.
The slave trader seemed to be tired, wiped the sweat from his head and said, "How can I be blamed for this? This slut runs away every day, and it takes me time and effort to catch him, so it's okay if I don't kill him. As he spoke, he spat on the beaten slave.
The slave lying on the ground rolled over on his side, revealing his face under his long hair, and the onlookers around couldn't help but take a breath of cool air when they saw this face. Chaolu was also very surprised, what kind of face it was, amazing, beautiful, amber eyes mixed with green, full of alien flavor.
Long eyebrows into the sideburns, mouth like rose petals, but dry cracks some openings, although the face is a little gray, but it can't hide his beauty, someone has already seen this face, can't help but say out: "Shopkeeper, how to sell this slave?" Sell it to me for ten taels! ”
Chaolu heard this, glanced sideways at the bidder, but he didn't expect it to be a man, but when he looked at the slave on the ground, his eyes were full of desire, and Chaolu looked at the stunning man who was dying on the ground, and couldn't help but follow along.
"Shopkeeper, I'll give you fifty taels, sell him to me." As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the onlookers around couldn't help but widen, because the names of the slaves here were as cheap as mustard, and even the children of the innocent white families at the back could be sold for ten taels at most.
Fengbian frowned, stared at Chaolu for a while, but didn't say anything, but silently thought in his heart, should he tell King Duan about this? Why did you buy a stunning slave when you came out to buy a personal maid? Did you think about it?
The man who asked for the price just now listened to Chao Lu fifty taels, gritted his teeth, stared at Chao Lu but did not dare to increase the price again, after all, even if he is stunning, he is still a man, and it is not worth the price, how many times can you go to Hualou for fifty taels! The shopkeeper heard Chao Lu shouting fifty taels, and couldn't help but smile.
Turning around, he handed the deed of sale and the slave book of the man on the ground from his pocket to Chaolu, and as soon as Chaolu handed over the silver taels, the slave trader snatched it over, as if he was afraid that Chaolu would regret it, and then picked up the man lying on the ground and handed the rope that helped him to Chaolu.
Chao Lu didn't reach out to take it after looking at it for a long time, but gave a look to the side of the wind, who put his robe on the man very eye-catchingly, and took the rope handed over by the slave trader.
Unexpectedly, the dignified king and secret guard are now reduced to the role of leading slaves, Fengbian pursed his lips but still followed Chao Lu without leaving an inch. This time, Chaolu didn't stop too much, but went directly to the slave booth at the back.
The people there were much more decent than the slaves in front, at least they were neatly dressed, and there were no ropes tied to them, and everyone seemed to be just a little malnourished.
"Miss, take a look, what kind of maid or housekeeper do you want to find? We've got all of them, take your pick. As he spoke, he led the way to Chaolu and walked in front of the people sitting on the ground, picking one by one.
The boss looked back and saw the slave rope that Pan Feng was holding in his hand, and although he looked at it twice, he didn't say anything.
